Agile development principles have gone from something used only by cutting-edge teams to a mainstream approach used by teams large and small for things as varied as the following:
Startup software development projects
Enterprise-sized development efforts
Complex, large-scale systems engineering initiatives (such as the electronics in the cars you drive and the airplanes you fly in)
Legacy systems (which means systems that have been around for a while, such as mainframe)
Embedded, real-time systems (such as pacemakers or life-support systems)
High-compliance environments (such as healthcare, insurance, or banking)
